it is a good distraction but I never voted for them labor crooks. Only once ever in my life I did vote labor, after I turned 18 yrs of age, to get rid of that liberal mandatory conscription thingy to fight in Vietnam war.
But sport is always good. Politics is a different ball game (pun intended).

Hence why you have a Pro-Leftism political party in and this is what you get with it. Just like with the ALP at Federal level. You win at Sport, but lose at Politics.

Well Sophia, if it's any sort of consolation I'm pretty sure this isn't just confined to Victoria and Labor.

They're all corrupt to some extent - Liberal and Labor, every State and Territory in Australia.

The only 'difference' is that some are more 'skilled' at avoiding getting caught out than others.

Most of our useless pollies have turned "flying under the radar" into an art form (same as they have with lying).

Having lived in Victoria (Melb). As someone from Sydney.
My advice Sophia is: don't chase a weakness, follow a strength.
Meaning...
Yes, Victoria is probably the crappiest at Politics.
But Sport has done Victoria well.
So just accept that Politics won't make your State rich.
But return to your true Victorian nature of living Sport and make it boom.
Don't try to turn the rest of the States into Sporting States - just make Victoria the Sporting State and the money will start to flow, as well as the State pride, etc.

Afterall. It's what I enjoyed the most about Victoria.
It's all about 'specialisation'.
Even Kennett knew this and why he stole the Grand Prix from Adelaide.

Hell. You might even start winning the AFL every year, they'll start calling it the VFL again. Wink

No wonder Victoria is bankrupt:

Inquiry uncovers accusations CFMEU funnelled $15 billion to criminals in Melbourne
building corruption scandal

A damning report has exposed how the taxpayer money allegedly flowed straight to organised crime.

A bombshell inquiry has uncovered damning evidence of industrial scale corruption on Melbourne’s big build projects, with the CFMEU accused of funnelling more than $15 billion from Victorian taxpayers straight into the pockets of criminals.

Shadow Attorney-General James Newbury described it as “the worst instance of corruption this state has ever seen.”

The man responsible for the bombshell corruption report, Geoffrey Watson SC, revealed at least $15 billion in taxpayer dollars went straight to organised crime.

“It could be $30 billion, not $15 billion,” Watson said.

“The people who were benefiting from this were criminals.”

In a stunning revelation, paragraphs about that eye-watering figure and the state government’s “indifference” were deleted days before Wednesday’s CFMEU inquiry.

An official appointed by the Albanese government ordered the information to be wiped, Opposition Leader Sussan Ley told parliament.

“I did not suggest the changes, I was directed to make the changes,” the official said, claiming it was outside the terms of reference.
